6 Telugu Films That Celebrated The Spirit Of Christmas

Christmas is one festival that no devout Christian can afford to miss. However busy we might be, we postpone our work and spend time with our loved ones. After having a sumptuous family meal, most of us watch a popcorn flick. For a change, instead of watching an entertainer, why don't we watch the films that speak of Christianity's greatness? To make the things easy for you, we've compiled a list of Telugu films which captured the struggle of Christians.

Dayamayudu

Veteran actor Vijay Chandhar portrayed the god in this devotional film. Though the film doesn't capture the birth, it shows the struggle of loyal Christ followers to better mankind. The film is centred around the selfless Saint Paul. The scene where Sreedhar is dragged by a horse is just heart- rending. This is a must-watch if you want to know the life of St. Paul.

Karunamayudu

This film was a raging hit when it released. It also won a Nandi award for being best feature film that year. Vijaychander portrayed the Christ in this film which captures nearly every relevant detail about him. From his birth to his crucifixion to his rebirth, every significant aspect of the selfless lord is present in film. Everyone of us should see this film on this holy day.

Mulla Kireetam

Mulla Kireetam means a thorny crown. Suman portrayed the Lord in this film which is filled with devotional songs and emotion. The film is filled with his divine messages. It should be noted that film doesn't capture his rebirth.

Rajadhi Raju

Late director Bapu directed this blockbuster. Vijaychander portrayed the god, once again. The song Kothaa Devudandi took the film to a whole new level. The film beginning scene shows why Bapu is known for his direction. The ending provides a complete feeling. It should be noted that Nutan Prasad excelled in his portrayal of Satan. The part he hangs upside down from a tree is a moment that should be watched out for.

Santhi Sandesam

Superstar Krishna portrayed the messiah in this Chandrasekhar Reddy directorial. His portrayal of Christ is flawless. His emotions during the crucifixion will tug your hearts. The film is one of the bests in Krishna's entire film career. It's an honour for him that the superstar got the chance to portray the Lord.

Yesu Mahimalu

The film isn't about the Christ's life. But, it is about Christ's power and his greatness over Satan. Siva Krishna portrayed the lord in this devotional film. Senior actors Murali Mohan, Jaya Sudha star in this Natti Kumar directorial.
